Build Ideas / help

[Mr Penguin]

Budget (including currency): £2000 (GBP)

Country: England (United Kingdom)

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: pretty much 100% gaming and the odd tinkering with my servers, Pis, etc., nothing that warrants massive changes in components for producivtity work.

Other details

 

I am looking to buy as soon as possible. I will be playing at 1440p at 144 Hz. I play a wide variety of games, nothing specific.

I currently already have a case that I will be using for this build; it is the Lian Li: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/vs2WGX/lian-li-lancool-ii-mesh-c-rgb-atx-mid-tower-case-lancool-ii-mesh-c-rgb-s

 

I have currently been going between the 13700k /kf, 7800x3d and 4080 or 7900xtx. I am able to get a few of these builds for around this price point (£2000 - £2200).
I am not a fan of AIOs, even though they do look good, Air Cooling has just as good performance for a significantly cheaper amount.

No need to bother with window licences, got that sorted from my old PC.

 

Any information will be great.

 

Here are some builds I made a bit ago with some help from others:

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/4FcB2m 7800x3d + 4080
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/8d8PRv 7800x3d + 7900 xtx

I did have an Intel build somewhere, but it has disappeared.

I am open to any suggestions or new builds; that is why I am here !

Thank you, and have a good day!

yeah but maybe the 7900 xt much cheaper for the little performance drop

4080 for 1440P allows you access to DLSS3. I would size up on the SSD and get a psu with PCIe 5.0

the 7900xtx list looks hella good but i would suggest going intel for now bcs of the recent ryzen issues and i would also recommend getting a 2tb crucial p5 plus or 2 4tb hdds for bulk storage running in raid 1 bc you have no idea how fast 1tb fills up

I would go with the 7900xtx build but why do you have selected a white cooler but rest of the parts black??

[PcBeExpensive]

To be honest though the 7900xtx is overkill for 1440p, that is a 4k card by all means. I would go down to a 7900xt or wait a couple months and wait for the 7800xt to release and have a look at that cards performance in comparison to the 4070 ti.

ye but thats only with ASUS mobos. MSI mobos should be fine with 7800X3D chips and haven't heard any complaints about that

[Mr Penguin]

Thank you everyone for your feedback, much appreciated just doing some close research and I am going more towards AMD due to their power consumption and thermals and the fact that I will not really be doing any productivity work, pretty much just gaming.

I have got three builds with different cpus, 13700k, 7700x and 7800x3d

The 13700k is £400 or £350 for F Variant whereas the 7700x is £300, is it worth the slight bigger price for the F Variant /K  if you take for account the power and thermals? They both have near same performance in terms of gaming. Then you have the 7800x3d for £437 what is a bigger jump. Both motherboard between Intel and AMD are around the same price so all builds come between £2000 - £2200.

I will list the builds here:

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/FTXdKp
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/LhQMLs

 

Hopefully I link the right ones, long day at work and I wanna go bed!

(Just realised that I didn't change the PSU on 2 of the list, doesn't matter

oh yes, but thats only Asus. I can agree with all that. Asus customer support is absolutely horrible.
